Born in Africa, I have had an adventurous beginning before joining the Family car business. My early years I worked for Procter & Gamble. A great experience learning from a talented team. My wife and I met in South Africa, we got married in Mexico, and then moved to London. Here I continued to work for P&G, and we were blessed with two daughters. In 2008 we moved to Phoenix and I joined the family business at Courtesy Chevrolet. My brother's Mark and Scott Gruwell and my father in law, showed me the ropes as I worked in number of positions at the dealership. Once in the United States we again were blessed with our third daughter. After four years I also became an American Citizen. I am excited to be leading the team at the new Courtesy Volvo of Scottsdale. If you have any questions please reach out to me. Regards Jason Church.
